Get generic type of class at runtime is not working

I have two classes and one interface

public class ExcelReader<T> extends Reader<T> implements RowColumnReader<T> {

    // private final TypeToken<T> typeToken = new TypeToken<T>(getClass()) {};
    // private final Type type = typeToken.getType(); 
    /* public Type getType() {
        return type;
        }*/
    // Useing Guava getting System.out.println(reader.getType()) T as ouput

        @Override
        public List<T> readFile(String file) {
          //my code
        }
    }
public abstract class Reader<T> {
    protected Class<T> clazz;

    /*public Reader() {
        clazz = (Class<T>) ((ParameterizedType) getClass().getGenericSuperclass()).getActualTypeArguments()[0];
    }*/
    // Constructor is commented beacuse getting Exception java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.TypeVariableImpl cannot be cast to java.lang.Class
}

public interface RowColumnReader<T> extends HeaderFields<T>{

    public List<T> readFile(String file);
}

public interface HeaderFields<T> {

    default List<String> getHeader(Class<T> clazz) throws HeaderNotDefiendException {
        //my code
        return headerList;
    }

}

I have tried all possible way to get class of generic type. I followed Get generic type of class at runtime and even tried all solution given in that page. But still not getting any luck.

Even with Gauva

https://stackoverflow.com/a/19775924/2290078 getting the output of getType() is T not the actual generic class

My test code is

Reader<Test> reader = new ExcelReader<>();
//System.out.println(reader.getType());  ---> output is T 
List<Test> list = reader.readFile("Sample.xlsx");
System.out.println(list);
