Actually, yes, there are some snakes who eats crickets. There are many snake breeds who are too small to even eat pinkie mice, so crickets are another good way for snakes to get nourishment and not starve.

A few of these snakes include:

Green Whip Snakes (Who also eat other small insects)

Several species of Shovel Nose Snakes

Green Grass Snakes

As well as Northern Brown Snakes, but I do not know if they can be have as pets.

The grass snake and the garter snake both feed primarily on insects even though both do enjoy to have a fuzzy or pinky mouse every once in a while. As young, crickets would be okay but they should have something larger like an earthworm. On numerous occasions I have caught wild garter snakes with earthworms in their mouths! Even some with small birds, fish and frogs.

No, rattlesnakes are carnivores, not insectivores. They primarily eat small rodents.
