Tests with Cucumber + Maven + TestNG not running

I have set up some Selenium tests with Cucumber + Maven. I used to use JUnit as testing framework, but as I want to run the tests multiple times with different parameters, I looked into using TestNG that lets you define parameters before each run, so each Cucumber scenario gets executed a couple of times on different browsers. I do not get an error message, but nothing is executed besides the @BeforeTest annotation within my TestRunner.class So I assume the error must be within the run of the @Tests

My testng.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Automationsuite" parallel="tests">

My TestRunner class

package runner;
@CucumberOptions(
    strict = true, 
    features ="Features/myInfineon_Login/InternalTesting/int_myInfineon_Login_Chrome.feature", 
    glue = {"stepsDefinitions"}, 
    plugin = { "pretty", "json:target/cucumber-reports/cucumber.json",
            "html:target/cucumber-reports", 
            "junit:target/cucumber-reports/xml-report.xml" 
     })

  public class TestRunner /*extends AbstractTestNGCucumberTests*/{
    private TestNGCucumberRunner testNGCucumberRunner;
    private static TestContext tcon;


      @BeforeClass(alwaysRun = true)
        public void setUpClass() {
         testNGCucumberRunner = new TestNGCucumberRunner(this.getClass());
        }


     @Parameters({ "browserName" })
     @BeforeTest
       public static void setUpScenario(String browser) {
         tcon = new TestContext();
         tcon.setupBrowserDriver(browser);
       } 

    @Test(groups = "cucumber scenarios", description = "Runs Cucumber Scenarios", dataProvider = "scenarios")
        public void runThisScenario(PickleEventWrapper pickleEvent, CucumberFeatureWrapper cucumberFeature) throws Throwable{            
           testNGCucumberRunner.runScenario(pickleEvent.getPickleEvent());          
           System.out.println("driver in test: " + tcon.getWebDriver());
         }

   @DataProvider
     public Object[][] scenarios() {
        if (testNGCucumberRunner == null) {
          return new Object[0][0];
        }
     return testNGCucumberRunner.provideScenarios();
     }


   @AfterClass(alwaysRun = true)
     public void tearDownClass() {
       testNGCucumberRunner.finish();
    }

These are the only things I applied changes to and before that everything ran fine. When I check e.g. via System.out.println(), the TestRunner class does seem the be able to read the scenarios and features, but they do not get executed. When I try put some more code in the Test annotation within the TestRunner class, it works fine, but it does not seem to recognize my StepsDefinitions and the methods contained within it.

I didnt find anything on here, because as mentioned, I dont get an error message..

This is part of the log:

[JsonMessageSender] Sending message [TestResultMessage ==> 
suite:Automationsuite, test:ChromeTest, class:runner.TestRunner, 
method:runThisScenario, parameters:"MyScenario";"MyFeature";]
[BaseMessageSender] Received ACK:>ACK
[BaseMessageSender] Received ACK:>ACK

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
